Dear Parishioners,
If you prefer the bulletin as an attachment, it is at the end of this email. The pastoral council minutes from July 13 are also attached.
Please let us know if you need help, or a phone call!

Since COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through the air, we will discontinue sanitizing everyone's hands before communion. Fr. Steve and the other communion minister will continue to sanitize their hands before giving out communion. We will still have had sanitizer available at the entrances to the Masses.
Thank you to everyone who completed the parish vaccination survey. If you haven't had a chance yet, please fill out this very short Survey Monkey survey about whether your household is vaccinated against COVID-19. Vaccinations rates are quite low in Whitman County; about 37% are fully vaccinated. If we find that a large percentage of parishioners are vaccinated, we will be more likely to have indoor Mass without masks. The survey is anonymous, we won't be able to see who answered. It will accept one response from each device. Please complete the survey as soon as you can, at this link:
